Negligent Security & Excessive Force Lawyers in Irvine, California

Defining Negligent or Inadequate Security in Irvine

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Irvine

Security guards are not law enforcement. In Irvine, private security personnel have restricted powers and may not use excessive force.

Unfortunately, excessive force incidents frequently occur when guards are placed in high-risk situations without guidance.

Excessive force may include:

• Striking patrons or visitors

• Unlawful restraints or chokeholds

• Over-detention

• Reliance on batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification

• Worsening minor disputes into violent encounters

• Detaining individuals without legal authority

Both the security guard and the security company may be held legally responsible.
